Quantum Groups And Their Primitive Ideals

by a more general quadratic algebra (possibly obtained by deformation) and then to derive Rq (G) by requiring it to possess the latter as a comodule. Drinfeld found that it could be essentially made to work for the "Borel part" of Uq(g) denoted U (b) and further found a general construction (the Drinfeld double) q mirroring a Lie bialgebra.
